HB 1199: Species status/F&W comm.

Providing the fish and wildlife commission with the tools necessary to enact changes to the status of a species.

Summary

  • Directs the Fish and Wildlife Commission to consider petitions for changing the classification of an endangered, threatened, or sensitive terrestrial mammal species on a regional basis based on the biological status of the species in the proposed region and not on the region's contribution to overall statewide recovery.
  • Requires any updated management plans or rules to give deference to the customs and cultures of local communities over statewide recovery goals for any regionally delisted species and be developed jointly and in coordination with any interested county legislative authorities.
